4. Neighbors next door getting a visit some time in the middle of the night. Visitor knocks and yells, "Yo Motherfucker."

5. Owen coming in to tell me how miserable he is with his cold and that he can't sleep.

6. The wind howling and rain.

7. My legs getting jumpy because I'm so damn tired.

8. Hattie putting one of her claws in the screen of the open window right over my head.

9. More visitors to the neighbor's house.

10. Ernie checking the time on the Star Wars clock we somehow inherited from the boys. You have to push somebody or other's head down to show the time.

11. Hattie.

12. More visitors to the neighbor's house. This time they seem to be moving something metal from the front yard to the back yard.

13. Ernie getting up at some ungodly hour and making noise. I asked him what he was doing, he said he was getting up and I said, "Well, then GO." Except I can't remember if I really said that or just thought it.
